McCall Idaho:
Winter Carnival 2000
Jan. 28 - Feb. 5, 2000
A 75- Year -Old Tradition Continues ...
The McCall Winter Carnival is
going stronger than ever! The
first weekend of the 10- day -long
festival, January 28 -30, is
highlighted by the ever - wacky,
non - traditional Mardi Gras
parade at high noon on Saturday -
- topped by Monte Carlo Casino
Night that evening. This is in
addition to the numerous
remarkable snow sculptures
scattered around town (some
sculptures are big as houses, •
others the size of a dog house). A
majority of the sculptures are
crafted by the local citizens of McCall.

Mid -week is Grand Bingo. You haven't seen Bingo until McCall's Grand Bingo -- the traditional game
and with a few new twists.
The second weekend, February 5 -6, is themed Snow Daze. It's a time when folks can get a chance to
experience all the different ways to play in the snow. The McCall Ice Rink will be hosting demos
throughout the weekend. For those wanting to experience a little downhill skiing, Brundage Mountain
Ski Area is hosting -- "Take Your Daughter to the Slopes" demo skis will be available along with free
lessons. For those preferring a more gentle grade, Ponderosa State Park will have cross country demo
skis available and free lessons. Ponderosa State Park was the site of the 1998 Junior Olympic Cross
Country Event and has an awesome set of trails. For those who like speed, there's the Snowmobile
Fun Run!
So, come on out and experience our piece of paradise!!
Entry forms and information are available at the Chamber of Commerce office, (208) 634 -7631, or via
e- mail.
